2022 Grand National

[ferguson1]

Saturday 9th April is the big event, where some families of all generations have a go at picking the winner.

Yes, it’s a lottery in the main but we certainly have a few tipsters on here, with @Brumerican being one of them.

I’ve already taken an early price last week on Cloth Cap e/w, but would be interested to see what others suggest as being in with a chance or which long shots may gain a place?

It's the Grand National so just throw some darts.  

The rest of the festival is where to make some money.

I won't even look until the night before.  It's hard not to like Delta Work for the GN after Cheltenham FWIW.     Blackmore on Minella is an obvious punt too.

14.20 on Thursday .  Fautinette @ 20/1 

Venetia Williams could have another great few days with large price horses again.

[Brumerican]

Deise Aba has sneaked into the field for the GN .    It won't be 66/1 for long.

[Brumerican]

Aintree is a lot tougher than Cheltenham for landing big prices and there are not as many extra place races but I'll suggest a few that at least look good value for a place.

Thursday

1.45     Nothing noteworthy . One of the top 4 short priced horses should win.

2.20   Only paying 3 places . Pied Piper should duke it out with Brazil so one of these 3 could be interesting for that 3rd spot .Petit Tonnerre 9/1 King Salute 16/1 Fautinette 16/1

2.55 Paying 4 places  Royal Pagaille 13/2 (Especially if wet).   Nutswell 33/1  Bristol DeMai 25/1  Itchy Feet 80/1

3.30  Meh

4.05  Paying 6 places.    Cousin Pascal 10/1   Marrakudja 16/1 Another Venture 40/1 Complete Sizing 40/1   Activial 80/1  Golden Tobouggan 80/1

4.40 Paying 6 places.   The Last Day 10/1   Global Citizen 10/1   Thyme White 14/1    Zarkareva 18/1   Dancing On My Own 25/1  Bun Doran 22/1

5.15 Paying 4 places    Iliade Allen   11/1   Rock Of Dundee 20/1  Nells Bells 28/1  Magical Maggie 33/1

 

I suspect a lot of winners will  come from the shorter prices tomorrow but there's some decent E/W shouts above for low stake accas.

[Brumerican]

Global Citizen is a NR in the 4.40 so I'd swap that out for Thyme White 12/1  

It looks to be wet and windy which should help some of the bigger priced horses.  so here are some more to consider given the updated weather .

4.05   Myth Buster 14 /1  Reikers Island 33/1   Clondaw Westie 40/1

 

My 5p Super Heinz today 

1.45 War Lord 3/1

2.20 Fautinette 16/1

2.55  Royal Pagaille 7/1

3.30 Zanahiyr  2/1 

4.05 Porlock Bay 7/1

4.40 Gunsight Ridge 7/1

5.15  Iliade Allen 12/1

I'll also have some low stake doubles and trebles on the big priced stuff  and hope the weather creates mayhem.

For the National, I like:

Eclair Surf - 14/1

Discorama - 40/1

Death Duty - 40/1

Good Boy Bobby - 33/1

I will like the Bet365 offer if it's on and guaranteeing around £100 profit with Betfair, then cheering on a horse for the 5th placed finish and a ~£2k payout.

[fightoffyour]

The B365 offer is on. Max £125 cash refund total for e/w bets, i.e. they effectively cost you half of what you're placing. No funny business, this is a genuine offer they run every year and the money is refunded to your account instantly in most cases (they will take it back again if there is a NR for example - not sure how this works if you have already withdrawn).

Pretty easy to make some guaranteed profit, and since Betfair lays 4 places while B365 pays out on 5, that's how you can get a big winner for the 5th placed horse. So, who's it going to be??

[bielesibub]

For the National, as a warning to all I've splashed out on 50p EW on each of these:

Delta Work 
Any Second Now
Two For Gold
Snow Leopardess
Mount Ida

Most times I'm pretty useful at picking the three legged horses in any race.

[fightoffyour]

What’s everyone best longshot? Virgin are paying 8 places.

[ROTTERDAM1982]

Commodore at about 25s might be a good outside bet

[tonyh29]

Never picked the winner in the National , not even in a sweepstake at work

I reckon if I put a bet on every horse then none would finish

Any chance of having a bet on 39 horses for us today pal, all but Discorama, thanks in advance.

[bickster]

I appear to have a donkey in the office sweep, they even put its odds on the slip, 80/1.

I forget what the donkey is called though

[fightoffyour]

If Escaria Ten and Snow Leopardess come 5th and 6th I’m getting naked

[tonyh29]

Kept up my 100% record

 

[ferguson1]

Won £20 on Fiddler.  £30 placed on bets, so not up this year but could have been worse.

Hope some of you did well today
